Gills (UK)

Imperial Gill Brass Measure. Used to measure a gill of spirits served within an ale house or inn. This was a standard measure. When this was made pewter tankards were still widely used in the trade and they were not of a standard volume. Such measures often have several verification marks if they had not been tampered with over long periods.

• UK Tablespoon (0.01420654L)

  A tablespoon is a large spoon used for serving or eating. In many English-speaking regions, the term now refers to a large spoon used for serving, however, in some regions, including parts of Canada, it is the largest type of spoon used for eating. By extension, the term is used as a measure of volume in cooking. In this capacity, it is most commonly abbreviated tbsp or T, and occasionally referred to as a tablespoonful to distinguish it from the utensil. The unit of measurement varies by region: a United Kingdom and Canadian tablespoon is exactly 15 ml (0.51 US fl oz), and an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml (0.68 US fl oz). The capacity of the utensil (as opposed to the measurement) is not defined by law or custom and bears no particular relation to the measurement.
